Helical Pile Calculation and Design
At Tadco, we offer professional helical pile calculation and design as part of our comprehensive structural evaluation services. Whether you’re planning new construction or need repairs, we ensure your project is supported with the most effective and durable foundation solution.
What Are Helical Piles?
Helical piles are a highly reliable foundation system used to anchor large structures like buildings, bridges, and other heavy constructions. These specialized piles are installed deep into the ground, where they distribute weight and stabilize structures, even in challenging soil conditions.
Materials and Functionality
Helical piles are typically made from steel round hollow shafts or square solid shafts, and they come in various sizes and designs to suit different project needs. The pile’s unique screw-like design allows it to be twisted deep into the soil, providing a secure base for any structure above.
Helical Pile Installation & Monitoring:
Tadco implements a regimented process to helical pile plan preparation and design calculation for new construction, as well as local repairs.
1. Site Assessment
Our team starts by conducting a detailed site visit to assess soil conditions and understand the structure’s requirements. We measure existing structural components and determine the best approach for your project.
2. Design and Planning
From here, we will then prepare structural plans of permanent helical pile supports. This includes determining the appropriate type, size, and placement of piles. We also consider other aspects, such as the potential need to adjust plumbing or electrical systems.
3. Compliance and Approval
Our designs comply with building codes and industry standards. Once the plan is ready, we submit it to the relevant authorities for approval.
4. Pre-Construction Coordination
Prior to the installation, we’ll coordinate a pre-construction meeting to discuss and verify the design parameters. This step ensures that all safety considerations, like access points and emergency exits, are addressed.
5. Installation Monitoring
During installation, we monitor progress to ensure that the piles are placed correctly and according to plan. Our team performs on-site checks as needed to keep everything on track.
6. Final Report
Post construction, we assemble a report containing conclusions, recommendations, as well as photographic documentations, exhibits and illustrations.
